Popular narratives about success often emphasize habits and tools like waking up early, meditating, or eating gummy bears. But what if the truth is far simpler—and far less flattering? Much of our success (or failure) comes down to sheer dumb luck, rather than the neat explanations we like to tell ourselves. Drawing from research on superstitious learning and randomness, I challenge the idea that we fully control our outcomes. From hiring decisions to life-changing events, many outcomes are shaped by factors outside our control.By recognizing this, we can cultivate greater empathy for others and better understand the complexity of life's circumstances. Don't fall into the trap of attributing success to oversimplified advice. Instead, embrace the uncertainty, and let's rethink what it really means to “earn” success.

In this History of Prints episode of Platemark, host Ann Shafer and subject matter expert Tru Ludwig explore the extraordinary life and legacy of Maria Sibylla Merian. Celebrated for her pioneering work on insect metamorphosis and her detailed illustrations of flora and fauna, Merian's journey took her to Suriname where she documented local species with the help of native people and slaves. Despite the societal constraints of the 17th century, she made significant contributions to both science and art, influencing future generations. The discussion also situates her achievements within the broader context of the Enlightenment and printmaking evolution, drawing comparisons with other naturalists like Audubon. The episode concludes with a teaser for an upcoming feature on William Hogarth, noted for his political satire. George Peabody Library, Baltimore, MD. Johann Zoffany (German, 1733–1810).

Today, The Fellowship's C.J. Burroughs continues his conversation with an Israeli writer who describes the moments that terrorists came closer and closer to her safe room during the October 7th terror attacks.

Pete Beauregard was tired of "catching bad guys" in cyberspace. So to fill the space left unfulfilled by his day job, he started brewing beer at his home in Portsmouth. Shortly after (and years before craft beer had taken off in New Hampshire) Pete and some buddies toyed with the idea of opening a brewery. And in 2014, after receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding, the group of four men executed their vision by opening Stoneface Brewing off Exit 4 in Newington, N.H. In the 10 years since opening, Stoneface has built a strong brand, opened a restaurant, and united a community primarily on the shoulders of one signature beverage: the Stoneface IPA. In today's conversation from Stoneface Brewing, Pete and I discuss: Pete Beauregard's introduction to brewing (00:00) The founding of Stoneface Brewing (06:20) Stoneface IPA's insane popularity (21:00) The Seacoast Seltzer (25:26) The brewing process (27:52) Stoneface's restaurant (33:57) Reflecting on 10 years of Stoneface Brewing (36:32) What's your mission? (40:04) The Final Final Question (43:20) Pete Beauregard is one of four co-founders of Stoneface Brewing, one of the Seacoast's most popular drinking destinations. Founded in Newington, N.H. in 2014, Stoneface is known best for its signature Stoneface IPA, which accounts for 75-85% of the brewery's production. Their latest creation, the Seacoast Seltzer, is now available in stores across the Seacoast. --For more information on upcoming events, product launches, and menu updates, visit StonefaceBrewing.com. --To support the telling of more awesome Seacoast Stories like this one, please FOLLOW this podcast on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and/or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ feeds.

As agents, building a database and adding value to our sphere has been drilled into us. We took that same mindset and strategy, and applied it to our peers and agent relationships. Just like we're told to host events and send gifts to our top clients, we do the same for the agent community.  We can attribute getting into this business and succeeding in it to the different agents and entrepreneurs who advised us. Now we get to give back to the same community and show people that there are many different ways to succeed in this business.  We also have to attribute our real estate business and successful partnership to dumb luck and many things that just fell into place and put us in the way of luck. Today, I sat down with our good friend, mortgage industry leader, business coach, and VP/Branch Manager of Nova Home Loans, Greg Gale. We talk about our business journey and all the things we've managed to build.  Quotes  We've never once fought over a dollar. We disagree, we have different opinions but we never fight over it. What's more important is where we're going and our end goal. -Kevin Kauffman   The word mastermind has been bastardized by our industry. What many call masterminds are actually classes. -Kevin Kauffman   If you do your business towards what you're built for, it's going to be way better. -Greg Gale Guest Info Greg Gale is a mortgage industry leader, business coach, and VP/Branch Manager of Nova Home Loans. Greg joined the mortgage industry in 2005. Prior to that, he was a personal trainer and martial arts instructor for 17 years. Greg notes that 20 years of martial arts, where persistence, honor, and integrity are the heart of daily practice, was a perfect lead into his role as financial advisor in the mortgage industry. The Gale Team at NOVA Home Loans is a full-service loan origination service, committed to providing innovative mortgage solutions and real estate strategies. In his role as team leader, Greg stresses the importance of integrity, a positive attitude, patience, creativity, and respect for all things.  This team defines communication as one of the single most important elements in a successful loan transaction. They are committed to returning calls promptly, providing regular status updates, and being available as needed throughout the process. Greg and his team really listen to clients' needs and then seek the best possible solutions, more often than not exceeding their client's expectations. The team's priority is to provide exceptional and memorable service. On a personal note, Greg is absolutely passionate about helping other people and is a regular contributor to the American Heart Association and Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Luck and Risk are two different sides of the same coin. This week Bill and Andrew talk about the role of luck in success, why the year you were born matters, and the importance of holistic financial planning. Don't underestimate the power of things you can control!

"I attribute a good deal of my success to dumb luck. So that might be one of those areas where it kind of raises its head. But I also believe that when you put yourself in a situation where you are willing to show initiative and a spark, you will be blessed with the faith and support of those around you." Tim Bernardi is an experienced writer and entrepreneur who seemingly stumbled into a role in the construction industry working on some pretty epic theme park attractions. He may also be one of the best examples of someone that has followed their passions and embraced the spark each and every time it comes. Tim's story has as many twists and turns as some of the epic theme park projects he has been a part of. When I first Tim him I knew him as someone who worked in construction project management with Mader Southeast on some amazing theme park attractions. His construction experience has led him to projects with Universal Creative, Walt Disney Imagineering, and custom homes. His path getting to where he is today has been anything but linear. In fact, it was a career he - almost quite literally - stumbled into after years in hospitality and selling his publishing agency.  Tim's entrepreneur spirit doesn't just believe that people should pursue what they enjoy doing. He has seen the benefits that come when you take initiative toward those interests. In the end, he learned that by expressing yourself and always going the extra mile, you can be rewarded with faith from your mentors and leaders. In this episode, you discover: the theme park attraction where his original desktop computer now resides the “dumb luck” moment that lead to Tim's career in commercial construction. how Tim Bernardi used his precociousness to advance his career. what happened when his CEO invested faith in him to plan and execute an event with no budget limit “There are small miracles every day that sometimes aren't quite as apparent.” Episode Highlights: [00:04:38] A speech class I took in high school allowed me to start to categorize my thoughts and realize the power of words. If Young Tim brought anything forward, it's the ability to use the bullet point function on Microsoft Word. [00:07:02] When you went to UK, what was your career vision? My career originally was going to be political science. But I didn't really start combining the skill sets from debate with writing until I got into the student paper at Valencia. Now my passion is technical writing and organizing thoughts and editing. [00:08:34] I was a Jungle Cruise Skipper at Disney's Magic Kingdom in the fall of 1982. Went back to the University of Kentucky for one semester. Moved back down to Orlando in May of 83 and did  some steam train work for a couple of years in the Magic Kingdom. [00:09:48] When I was living in Florida, I started a publishing company. The concept that on a small computer that set on my desk I could do newsletters, flyers, forms. Why did I decide to sell the agency? Someone came and offered me a bunch of money " [00:12:53] I still write protocols and standard operating procedures and technical writing as well. It's a lot of those skills that we just go through and do that we don't realize are marketable skills [00:14:28] Eventually you realize that passion is something that you can monetize. [00:18:27] I'm the facilitator of the Construction Safety Peer Group of Central Florida. Many of those people there are individuals who I regard as leaders. People who invested in me and who showed belief in me. That makes you feel essential and essential. [00:27:15] What can I do to serve others within the scope I'm qualified? And where can I maybe personally grow and help others as well? There's a selflessness to doing that to your organization or to a nonprofit. But there is also a personal return on investment on it. [00:30:33] Between November 2017 and January 2022, we managed 27 different construction sites on Walt Disney World property. Over those Times had some remarkable experiences. One that stands out to him was when Pandora was almost finished and ready to open. [00:37:05] Stop and take in the work that you have done. Enjoy what you have built out of it. I personally loved the Sorcerer's hat at Hollywood Studios. It's just a reminder that don't just rush from one project to the next. [00:39:14]  We don't have the capacity to acknowledge every blessing that comes our way. There are small miracles every day that sometimes aren't quite as apparent. [00:44:50] Even the quietest and the smallest blessings that are out there that aren't easily recognized are still there.   Connect with Tim on LinkedIn   Connect with Katie About Katie: https://www.katiecurrens.com/about Connect with Katie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiecurrens/ Follow Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katie_currens/ Follow the Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onesparkstories/

Luck & Risk + How to Build a Crystal Ball - BRT – WFL S03 EP56 (155) 11-6-2022   What We Learned This Week 4 Kinds of Luck - Blind, Hard Work, Preparation, Reputation Crystal Ball - Read to get Data on Tech Trends Types of Risk - Interest Rate, Inflation, Play it Safe Market Risk - Buffet Rule # 1 - Never Lose $, how Mkt losses affect your portfolio & timeline     Co-Host: Denver Nowicz, President - Wealth For Life https://wealthforlife.net/brt/ https://twitter.com/denvernowicz  Denver is an advisor with nearly 20 years experience working with clients in investments and insurance, designing retirement plans with a combo of both. He takes us through different strategies for clients to get the best allocations for their money over the long term. It is the Combo Strategy of both Offense and Defense, the synergy of the mix, not ‘All or Nothing'.   Notes:  4 Kinds of Luck in Business In 1980, Bill Gates and Microsoft struck a software deal with IBM to create an operating system for their computers. This is considered the greatest business deal in history.  Why? Not only did a then relatively unknown software company called Microsoft get its biggest customer ever, they also struck a non exclusive licensing deal to sell the same operating system to other companies. This deal put Microsoft on the map, while simultaneously flipping the future of these 2 major computer companies. Microsoft would one day supplant IBM in the industry.  There are many details and conflicting stories to how this legendary deal went down. (For the Details: HERE)  One thing is for sure, there was some luck involved. Bill Gates mother was on the United Way board, and knew the CEO of IBM, so a personal connection was established. When IBM first approached Gates, he connected them with Gary Kildall of DRI as he was the premiere software developer. But IBM and Kildall could not cut a deal, and IBM came back to Gates and Microsoft.  On the other side, Microsoft had established themselves as a fast growing computer company by 1980, and had caught IBM's attention. It's BASIC software already had hundreds of thousands of users. Also the MS-DOS software turned out to be more compatible and cheaper then Kildall's software.  When reviewing this deal, one can ask -  Did they get lucky? Was it Skill that got the deal?  Was it a combo of both? Maybe there different types of luck. Let's look at 4 Kinds... Blind Luck or Dumb Luck  You just got lucky. You were in the right place, at the right time. This is nearly impossible to repeat, so cannot bank on this plan of action over the long term. Enjoy the benefits while you can, but limited lessons you can learn here.  Luck thru Hard Work & Persistence You got lucky because of a compounding effect of consistent hard work over time. You are out there doing work, meeting contacts, providing value, etc. Then you post marketing content often, discussing your work and showing case studies. You also work with many different people, who you foster the relationship and they recommend you. This system can be replicated if one is willing to do the work. 'The harder I work, the luckier I get.'  Luck thru Preparation, to Discover Opportunities  You got lucky because you are the 'eternal student', always researching about your industry, or an adjacent one. Because of this you find the growing trends to take advantage of, or meet the contacts who open your eyes to a potential deal or new market.  This system also can be replicated, assuming your have the intellectual curiosity to do deep dives on topics and meet the relevant people involved. Of course, you also have to do the work. 'Luck = Chance + Preparation'.  Luck Because of Reputation You got lucky because you have been doing such good work for years that has provided you a stellar professional reputation as the go to guy. When someone thinks 'X', your name comes up. The question is asked, 'who is the best guy at X', and they contact you for help.  This system is repeatable if you do the work to build your reputation ('it precedes you') thru years of good work and great results + promotion again.  For more of this topic, go straight to the source: Dr. James H. Austin wrote a book (in 1978) breaking down the 4 kinds of Luck: Chase, Chance, and Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.  How to Build Your Own Crystal Ball   Older people sit down and ask, ‘what is it?' But the Boy asks ‘what can I do with it.'  Don't fall into an outdated mindset. Keep up with the trends. - Steve Jobs   The best in business understand how to Anticipate the Future. They see the Train coming around the corner. Business and Technology trends are ever changing.  To survive you must keep up with what has happened in the industry. More than anything this is a mindset of ongoing learning. Warren Buffett is an avid reader. He reads 4 – 5 hours per day looking for ideas. He's lucky if he finds a few good ideas in a year. This has been deemed his super power.   If you want your own Crystal Ball to see the future, you need to be constantly researching and reading what is going on. From the internet to newsletters to conferences to books, there is no lack of options for where to find information. There are so many free blogs and newsletters to choose from on niche subjects of tech, VC, or crypto to name a few. If you need the deeper dive, find a paid subscription service doing research on an industry for business or investing. Get the Data. You need people who can provide you the intel about an industry. Insiders are the best source of intelligence. Build a Network of people ‘in the know' in an industry you want to know more about. If you need to know about a few industries, then make a few contacts, whom each represent an industry. You also need to form business partnerships so you keep learning and evolving. A change in an industry on the tech side, may also mean a financial change or legal change. A good team of Advisors (accountant, attorney, tax advisor, financial consultant, etc) can be invaluable as they deal with multiple clients and see things that may not currently be going on in your business.   Disruption in tech and business is ever present. It is not uncommon for someone to change careers 2 to 3x in their lifetime. Being aware of the trends can help to make informed decisions of what is going on. Is the industry you are working in growing or dying? If the industry is on a downward trend, what industry can you jump to on the way up? Knowing what is going on industry wide and the tech trends can affect your career or business.   Real World Example We will use the tech industry as an example on keeping up with trends, since it impacts so many other industries. Here are some Tips of where to get insights on the Tech Industry:   Tech Trends to be aware of from a quick search on Google. Each of the below technologies overlaps in many industries today. Regardless if you work in tech, you have probably heard of many of them.     Risk Playing it safe and taking no chances is still risky inflation risk if you are just holding cash and putting your money in the mattress, inflation eats away at the value of the cash and your purchasing power Think of your business as an asset class whether it is a digital business or a traditional physical business, the old brick and mortar Buy assets to fight inflation, as they appreciate over time   Interest rate risk when the interest rate for loans rises, it cost you more to get money, called the cost of capital Dangerous to use credit cards as you have high debt with higher interest rates When interest rates go up it makes a mortgage more expensive and it's harder to buy a house Savers thrive in a high interest rate environments, and savers are punished in low interest rate times Higher interest rates hurts real estate, and business as it puts a strain on the industries. Again, cost of capital to get loans cost more because the interest rates is higher. On the flipside business or real estate is cheaper to buy in a depressed market, and the return on the asset over the long term is a good opportunity even if interest rates are higher. ROIC - return on invested capital -  Ex: put $100K in investment and cash flow $50K a year over 5 years, means you put in invested $100K, & got $250K or a 2.5x ROIC Even in high interest rates, these investment numbers make sense The old adage don't jump over dollars to get pennies, monitor the big picture Insurance strategies have matching dollars like 3 to 1 tax-free matching, leverage can expand to your ROI Credit card co's, use debt to buy things, inflation and higher interest rates help Market Risk and Market Volatility Can be hard to handle emotionally, as market losses Mount. We're always told to not be emotional about investments but it's very hard. A lot of people just invest in the stock market they hope one thing happens buy low and Sell high as long as the stock appreciates everything will go OK we're banking on appreciation only From 2010 to 2020 this was a good strategy, as the market was great, up 329%, but from 2000 to 2010, the market had almost a 0% return 2000 to 2020 – up 304%, or 6.74% per year Can you trust traditional stock market returns? You need defensive assets to have balance In 2022, you lost 50% if you owned tech stocks, Facebook stock has lost 70% How long is it going to take to get it back? Wealthy do not want to go backwards, they have a percentage of their portfolio in stocks, with an overall portfolio of multiple assets Buffett Rule #1, never lose money, Rule #2, remember Rule #1 Your advisor should know asset classes Incorporate an insurance strategy with principal protection Focus on 2 to 3 items in your protfolio Best return is on your core business, returns will probably be better than what you get in the market   Break up your assets into: businesses, stocks, real estate, insurance strategies Entrepreneurs think different, as entrepreneurship is not really about recessions Recession is not a common topic, as entrepreneurs are always looking for where the opportunities and trends are heading         More Info on WFL and Tax Free Matching: HERE     Wealth For Life Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Wealth+For+Life   Link to Taxes Show on 10/31/2021 w/ Denver: Here Link to Offense / Defense Show on 6/6/2021 w/ Denver: Here Link to Shows, Denver was a Guest: Here   Investing Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/investing More - BRT Best of: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+Of     Thanks for Listening.

Guardian Angels or Dumb Luck? I woke up early and laid in bed seeing this incident from 20 years ago in such vivid detail, I felt compelled to come here and recount the story.   We had built two large cages on the north lake bank.  They were chain link and probably about 7 or 8 feet high.  The cages went down into the lake so the cats could swim and the fences extended out there.  The wooden orange crates were just falling apart from termites and carpenter ants, so we decided to use a couple of the concrete Us to make dens.  They were too big to fit between the rails, so Don said he's use the crane to lift them over the fence and set them in place.  Made sense to me.   What didn't make sense to me was why he insisted that I go inside the cage to show Kenny exactly where to set it.  It didn't require that level of danger to myself to show Kenny that I wanted it set in the open, away from the fence, so the cat couldn't use it as a launch pad to get out.  I showed Kenny and he understood.  Don flew into a rage, so I went in the cage and feeling kind of silly, pointed the ground in front of me and told Kenny, drop it here.   Don was talking to Kenny, and was clearly agitated, but I couldn't hear what was being said over the roar of the crane's diesel engine.  I'd done my part.  Showed where to drop it, and started to leave.  Don just had a hissy fit; saying I had to stay right where I was.  He angrily took Kenny's place on the crane to set the piece himself.  Although it didn't make any sense that he'd need a person to mark the spot, since the spot didn't really matter much, he kept yelling at me to stand right there.   It's usually better to just go along with his craziness than buck it, so I complied, until he swung the beam of the crane in my direction so quickly that it was obvious I was about to be batted off the ground by 7500 lbs of a flying concrete slab.  As I froze briefly, and then began to run, the dangling concrete Us bashed into the fence and slowed its trajectory to where I stood.   I got out of the way in time and Don was just livid.  He said he was mad at the crane, the fence, Kenny, the servals, me; everyone or thing he could blame.  Years later, I wonder if he was angry he missed  killing me.  No telling what was going on in that delusional mind of his.     I often tune in to the Kitten Cabana LIVE webcam and I love listening to the water fall that is now a feature of that concrete U.  I wonder how Don would feel if he knew I derive such pleasure from something that now seems to have been meant to meant to be my demise?     Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

The first step is defining your appetite for risk. And not in those frequently used, way-too-general terms: Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive. Josh details a more precise way to measure comfort levels relative to where we are in our retirement journey – as well as how it all correlates (or doesn't!) with market exposure.You'll also learn about how a bull market like the one we've seen over the past decade can hit the skids, leaving portfolios out of whack and vulnerable to huge losses with long-lasting consequences. Says Josh: “Risk is actually a fun topic once you understand it – and it gives you a lot of power and control!” Definitely, when it comes to financial planning. But as far as how risk relates to selecting from the menu at a sushi restaurant? That's another kettle of fish (ba-dum-bum!). Exactly what does that mean?

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases TO DUMB DOWN and DUMB LUCKIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase to dumb down. Now I think you know what the word dumb means. It's kind of an insult for someone who's not very smart. If you say he's dumb, you're saying that that person isn't intelligent. So it's not a nice thing to say. But we do use the phrase to dumb down to talk about making something simpler, and easier to understand. Think about it this way. Sometimes you read a book, and it's a really good book, and it's very complex, and a little bit hard to understand, and then they make it into a movie, and then they dumb down the story a little bit, so it's easier for people to understand. Sometimes too they'll make instructions for something, and the instructions might be really hard to understand. So they might say to someone at that company, hey, before we ship that product, someone needs to dumb down the instructions. You need to make them simpler, and easier to understand.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianThe other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase dumb luck. So luck, when you're lucky, it's just means that something goes your way for no reason. And dumb luck is the same thing basically. A good example would be this. Normally I take a certain road to go to work, but the other day I took a different road, and then I ended up finding out the road I normally take, there was an accident there, and I would've been stuck. So it was just dumb luck that I took the right road. There was no reason when I got to the end of my driveway, I decided to go one way and not the other. It ended up being dumb luck that I just ended up going the way where there was no traffic, and no accident that would have held me up.So to review, when you dumb down something, when you are going to dumb something down, it means you're going to make it simpler, and easier to understand. And when you have dumb luck, it just means that things went your way for some reason, usually just 'cause you got a little bit lucky.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Gill. Thanks, Bob, I like lilac. In Russian, we call it a bush, not a tree. Could you tell me what you call the color of that cat of yours in Canadian English, ginger or red? My response, we also sometimes call it a bush, lilac tree, lilac bush. I think it depends on how tall it is. Also, we would say it is an orange cat. So yeah, technically the lilac trees that I showed you in the last video, technically I think they would be a lilac bush. They look more like a bush than a tree, but we've always called them lilac trees, I think because they are taller than me.And the cat, yeah, we don't usually call a cat like that a ginger cat. We would usually just say it's an orange cat. And the other name we have for it is Tabby. I think Tabby refers to the pattern of the fur on the cat. So I would've called that an orange Tabby cat.Hey, an interesting thing is happening at work. For some reason, we are trying to figure out how we used to do all kinds of things in May and in June. Last year in May and June, we were learning from home. Two years ago in May and June, we were learning from home. So there's all these little activities, and things that we can do now that we can do in person. And as a staff, as teachers, we're trying to figure out how we used to do certain things. I was in a meeting this morning where a lot of people were saying, well, how did we do it three years ago the last time we did it? Or how did we do it three years ago?

Yes, the event that has swept our nation's attention away from COVID-19, from a war in Eat0s0ern Europe that could propel us into WWIII, and a gas prices soaring higher than giraffe...well you get it!
